Does anybody use homosote anymore for the roadbed or is it a thing of the past? I am debating between homosote and cork and wonder if one is better than the other for quietness of the railroad.
Gary,Gary H Pfeil said:I use homasote. For the last year or two I've been using Homa bed, roadbed made of homasote. More expensive than cork but much easier to work with than sheets of homasote. I don't think it has any advantage over cork for most people, who use flextrack. But I handlay often and the homasote holds spikes much better.

same stuff, just denser. i do stained glass work and use homosote on which to assemble the pieces. check your local stained glass supply store for homosote.ezdays said:I thought it was the light stuff similar to what is used on drop ceilings, but from what I was reading, it is much denser than that, but is still sold in large sheets.
